From $140 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort covers 22.8 miles (36.7 km) in about 50 to 59 minutes, door to door, in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver — a flat rate. Your driver meets your group right at the cruise terminal as you step off the ship.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole party rides for one price set the moment you book.
The simplest way off the ship is a private vehicle reserved for your group alone. Pick the tier that fits your party: a black SUV for up to 5, a van for 6-9, or a larger van for 10-14. After your ship clears, the driver meets you curbside at the cruise terminal — with a name sign if you ask on WhatsApp ahead of time — and there is room for your cruise luggage. You load up, settle in, and ride straight to the resort entrance on Hollywood Beach with no transfers and no waiting for other riders. Booking takes one message: send your ship name, arrival date, group size, and pickup direction, and the journey is locked. The same setup works in reverse when you head back to PortMiami for embarkation day.
Plan on 50 minutes off-peak and up to 59 minutes in heavier traffic. The 22.8-mile drive heads north out of the port and onto the I-95 express lanes, which keep the journey steady even when the general lanes back up. The biggest variable is disembarkation morning: when three or more ships clear customs at the same hour, the roads leaving the port crawl for a stretch before they open up. Departure timing for your return matters too — South Florida rush hours thicken the afternoon flow. Your driver builds the realistic window into the pickup time so you reach the resort without rushing, and the fare never changes because of the traffic you hit along the way.
Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort fronts the Atlantic directly on the renowned Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, a flat oceanfront promenade lined with cafes, bars, and bike paths. The resort itself carries pools, a flowrider surf simulator, beachfront dining, and a laid-back island theme, making it a sought-after base for families and couples stepping off a cruise. You can compare rooms and amenities on the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort official site or read the full property overview on the Margaritaville Beach Resort guide. The location puts you minutes from Hollywood’s historic downtown and a short hop from Fort Lauderdale, so it works equally well as a pre-cruise overnight or a post-cruise beach stay.
The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs right outside the door, so you can walk for miles of sand, ice cream stands, and oceanfront restaurants without a car. Hollywood’s downtown ArtsPark and antique shops sit a few minutes inland, and Fort Lauderdale’s dining and nightlife are a quick drive north. Hard Rock Stadium and the Seminole Hard Rock are both reachable for game days and entertainment.
The flat fare covers the whole door-to-door journey, including all tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel — nothing is added on the road. You also obtain a bilingual driver (English and Spanish), curb-side cruise-terminal pickup, and onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Everything you require for a peaceful ride to Hollywood Beach is built into the one price set at booking.
Trips that depart outside the 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daytime window also add a small after-hours surcharge, detailed further down the page. Gratuity for your driver is optional and at your discretion.
Yes — Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is a sought-after oceanfront wedding venue, and a private van moves your guests from the cruise port to Hollywood Beach in one organized journey. Book a van for 6-9 or 10-14 so the whole party rides together. Reserve early so your pickup time and group size are locked well before the celebration.
Yes — Hard Rock Stadium sits a short drive from Hollywood Beach, so the resort makes a handy base for large fixtures like Portugal vs Colombia or Brazil vs Scotland. We supply the private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, and your driver can handle stadium-day runs by separate arrangement. Send the date and group size on WhatsApp to lock it in.
The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk just outside the resort is packed with oceanfront sports bars and restaurants that screen main matches, so you can stay close and walk to the action on game day. Our role is the private ride: we obtain your group from the cruise terminal to the resort, leaving you steps from where the games play.
Lock your private ride by sending your ship name, arrival or departure date, group size, and pickup direction. We confirm the vehicle and the flat fare, take full payment, and your driver is set to meet you at the terminal.
